Additional Information about the job specifications

  • Salary. Many benefits are included, such as national health insurance, thirteen months of salary, contributions towards pension and retirement settlement. In order to have a clue of what your monthly net salary will approximately be, you may want to check for instance this website
    Please note that for successful candidates having held academic positions abroad, there are some tax benefits, as, for example, a tax relief up to 90% of the salary that may be granted for a duration up to ten years.
    This means, by way of example, that a net monthly pay without these tax benefits would increase by about 50%.
    Beware: the law about these tax benefits is being reviewed by the Italian government, so that these conditions might change. 
    You may also want to take a look at this website to have a rough idea of the living cost in Roma.
  • How to apply. Submit a brief CV, a list of publications, a research statement and a teaching statement, as well as names of some mathematicians who could possibly provide a recommendation letter.

The applications will be reviewed by a cross disciplinary Selection Committee and will follow the official “Chiamate dirette” procedure.
The “Chiamate dirette” recruitment process involves several approval steps and requires the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, University, and Research.
The procedure is therefore expected to be completed and the position to be filled within November 2025.
The Rector confirms the appointment by Decree and sets the relative salary class based on seniority of service and merit (art. 1, c. 9, L. n. 230/2005).
